Safe Driving
The front seats and the rear seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners
to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts and the rear seat belts
during a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not
severe enough to inflate the front airbags.
■
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
1
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come
on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and
thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not
offer protection in a subsequent crash.
During a moderate-to-severe side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle also activates.

Fastening a Seat Belt
After adjusting a front seat to the proper position, and while sitting upright and well
back in the seat (see illustrations for correct seating posture):

1.
Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then
tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is
secure.
u
Make sure that the belt is not twisted or
caught on anything.
1
No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat
belt or one that does not appear to be working
correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working
properly may not protect the occupant in a crash.
Have a dealer check the belt as soon as possible.
If the seat belt appears to be locked in a fully
retracted position, firmly pull out on the shoulder belt
once, then push it back in.
Then smoothly pull it out of the retractor and fasten.
If you are unable to release the seat belt from a fully
retracted position, do not allow anyone to sit in the
seat, and take your vehicle to a dealer for repair.

3.
Position the lap part of the belt as low as
possible across your hips (see illustration),
then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt
so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your
strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash
and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
4.
If necessary, pull up on the belt again to
remove any slack, then check that the belt
rests across the centre of your chest and
over your shoulder. This spreads the forces
of a crash over the strongest bones in your
upper body.
1
To release the belt, push the red
PRESS
button and
then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted
completely.
When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is properly
stowed so that it will not get caught in the closing
door.
Never insert any foreign objects into the buckle or
retractor mechanism.

WARNING
Improperly positioning the seat belts can
cause serious injury or death in a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly
positioned before driving.

The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and shorter
occupants.
1.
Move the anchor up and down while
pulling the shoulder anchor outward.
2.
Position the anchor so that the belt rests
across the centre of your chest and over
your shoulder.

After an adjustment, make sure that the shoulder
anchor position is secure.
The shoulder anchor height can be adjusted to four
levels. If the belt contacts your neck, lower the height
one level at a time.

Consider alternative:
If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child when
driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt. When positioning the seat
belt, wear the shoulder belt section across the chest, avoiding the abdomen, and
keep the lap belt portion as low as possible across the hips. (See illustration.)

Advice for Pregnant Women
1
Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it is
okay for you to drive.
To reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your
unborn child that can be caused by an inflating front
airbag:
•
When driving, sit upright and adjust the seat as far
back as possible while allowing full control of the
vehicle.
•
When sitting in the front passenger's seat, adjust
the seat as far back as possible.

Seat Belt Inspection
Safe Driving
Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
•
Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
•
Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract
easily.
u
If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only
use a mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make
sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after
any collision.
1
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
WARNING:
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
WARNING:
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

WARNING
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can
result in serious injury or death if the seat
belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have
any problem corrected as soon as possible.

Airbags
Airbag System Components
The front, front side, and side curtain
airbags are deployed according to the
direction and severity of impact. The airbag
system includes:
•
Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
front airbags. The driver's airbag is stored
in the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked
SRS
AIRBAG
.
•
Two side airbags, one for the driver and
one for a front passenger. The airbags are
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked
SIDE AIRBAG
.
•
Two side curtain airbags, one for each
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored
in the ceiling, above the side windows.
The front pillars and roof lining are
marked
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
.
•
An electronic control unit that, when the
power mode is in ON, continually
monitors information about the various
impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors,
airbag activators, seat belt tensioners,
and other vehicle information. During a
crash event the unit can record such
information.
•
Automatic seat belt tensioners for the
front seats and rear seats.
•
Impact sensors that can detect a
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
•
An indicator on the instrument panel that
alerts you to a possible problem with your
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
•
An indicator on the roof console that
alerts you that the front passenger’s front
airbag has been turned off.

Safe Driving
Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So, while airbags help to save lives, they can cause burns, bruises,
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing
their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.
What you should do:
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as
far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the
vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that
can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags
deploy.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp
object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers.
Objects on the
covers marked
SRS AIRBAG
could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags
or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.

Important Facts About Your Airbags
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together,
airbags and seat belts provide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the
deployment path of the front airbag by holding each
side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over
the airbag cover.

Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags:
•
Front airbags:
Airbags in front of the driver's and front passenger's seats.
•
Side airbags:
Airbags in the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs.
•
Side curtain airbags:
Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help to
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
SRS
(Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary
restraint system.
The front airbags are housed in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver, and
in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked
SRS AIRBAG
.
■
Housing Locations

The airbags can inflate whenever the power mode is
in ON.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion
process of the inflator material and is not harmful.
People with respiratory problems may experience
some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Airbags

Front Airbags (SRS)
Safe Driving
Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.
When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a
vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the
front airbag provides supplemental protection
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that
they won't interfere with the driver's visibility
or the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not
aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in front of them.

When front airbags should not deploy
Minor frontal crashes:
Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and
help to save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might
occur during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts:
Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration
causes a driver or front passenger to move towards the front of the vehicle. Side
airbags and side curtain airbags have been specifically designed to help to reduce
the severity of injuries that can occur during a moderate-to-severe side impact which
can cause the driver or passenger to move towards the side of the vehicle.
Rear impacts:
Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed
to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers:
Seat belts and side curtain airbags offer the best protection in a rollover.
Because front airbags could provide little if any protection, they are not designed to
deploy during a rollover.
■
When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the
vehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy.
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object
that causes a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis. Since the impact is
underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.
■
When front airbags may not deploy, even though exterior damage
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of
visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags
would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they
had deployed.
